“We have established ourselves in
twelve months, and by far the great
our newspaper advertising,” Mr.
Smith stated recently.
“We could easily have taken things
in slower fashion and spent less mon
ey. Bui; we wanted to get ourselves
quickly entrenched in our potential
trading area. It is for this sole rea
son that we spent three to four times
what a firm would normally spend in
opening a new store.
“It is my experience that there is
no advertising like that to be had by
the use of a good newspaper. People
read newspapers where they won’t
read direct mail and other literature.
If a merchant really has something^
to offer the public, he would do well
to use the newspaper*! consistently.

This was signified last week when
W. S. Knudsen, president of the com
pany announced that March produc
tion would reach 140,000 units, an
amazing output when it is considered
that active production on the new six !
cylinder cars has been underway less t
than three months. Although no defi-1
nite figures were issued it can readily i
be assumed that April’s schedule will;
call for an even larger production, and
• that mid-summer will witness a quan
tity output in all of Chevrolet’s as
sembly plants never before equalled
by a manufacturer of six cylinder au
tomobiles. j
Mr. Knudsen related that February
production amounted to 1^1,249 units.
With only 22 working days in the
mon/n, daily produ^ion for tie period.
averaged befter Tfian 5,500 a day.
These figures leni further emphasis .
to the astonishing achievement of the |
company last fall in changing over
from production of fours to sixes with j
only a six "weeks interim to effect nec-
,essary alterations.
I Upon his return to Detroit a few |
days ago from a six weeks trip which
1 took him across the northern part of
the country into the far west, R. H.
Grant, Chevrolet vice-president in
charge of sales, spoke with marked
optimism of the prevalent demand for
the new six cylinder cars. Nearly ev
erywhere, he declared, dealers indi
cated to him that they had found an
increased market for the new product.
The cars, he said, are being delivered
to owners as fast as they can be dis
tributed.
